Deep Air Quality Forecasting Using Hybrid Deep Learning Framework
Air quality forecasting has been regarded as the key problem of air pollution early warning and control management. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model for air quality (mainly PM2.5) forecasting, which learns the spatial-temporal correlation features and interdependence of multivariate air quality related time series data by hybrid deep learning architecture. Due to the nonlinear and dynamic characteristics of multivariate air quality time series data, the base modules of our model include one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Bi-directional Long Short-term Memory networks (Bi-LSTM). The former is to extract the local trend features and the latter is to learn long temporal dependencies. Then we design a jointly hybrid deep learning framework which based on one-dimensional CNN and Bi-LSTM for shared representation features learning of multivariate air quality related time series data. The experiment results show that our model is capable of dealing with PM2.5 air pollution forecasting with satisfied accuracy.
